Ford Ikon external modifications

This is a discussion on Ford Ikon external modifications within Modifications & Accessories, part of the Under the Hood category; Good job there Sanju. Even I'd suggest you go for a Ikon Spoiler. The ones that we see on Balenos ...

OT : I will be in JC Road tomorrow till afternoon and then would go to Marathahalli to play badminton. I have a slot booked from 2-3 tomorrow afternoon. So i am sure i would be there. Please PM me in case benny and condor are game for this.

Sanju, good effort there with the beautification! Looking good, especially the front bumper..

Thanks ankit.

For the moment i am not touching that. I am planning a complete FFE in the near future, so the current ones will go as soon as that comes in.

Currently, i have an urgent technical issue to be resolved. I had posted the same in the Technical Stuff Section but got no reply.

As mentioned, in the detailed bill, i have replaced the O2 sensor for a new one. I am having major problems with my idling. After a cold start, the moment i reach the first speedbreaker or i need to slow down, the engine shuts off completely. This happens till the first few kms. Later on, when the engine is warm enough, i do have the same problem although the engine does not shut off completely, rpm goes down to as low as 400rpm and the engine oil light also glows at the same time. Things get worse when i switch on the A/C. I have been advised my most mechanics that this might be because of a faulty O2 sensor and thats the reason why i replaced it. My questions below:

1) Is it really the O2 sensor thats the culprit here?
2) I went back to the mechanic who replaced the O2 sensor and he asked me to run for around 50 kms before the ECU remaps to the new O2 sensor. I have run almost 150kms since the new installation but nothing has changed yet.
3) Was it important to do a basic ECM reset after replacing the O2 sensor? Is it too late now, can i still do it.
4) Other possible causes for this?

For the Free Flow, i presume Raj is the best place to get it done in Bangalore. Have anyone heard of any new places that have come up for FFE?

And yes, the search still goes on for the appropriate spolier. I am not in a hurry though.

sanju sreekumar-the windshield sticker looks too loud,try 2 get a smaller one or better if theres no sticker there.i personally dont like too dark tinted paper,would have looked more classier if the tint was much lighter.otherwise car looks great.
